Except that they don't really work that well. The character set is undefined, so you end up with different interpretations of non ASCII characters in different apps. And not all necessary fields are available or get recognized in every app.
Nope, I'd really like QR code to work for this, but they don't.
I bought my iPhone this December and the high rated Apps (even searched the web for lists of QR scanners) never ask. Maybe they were first, but finding anything via the iPhone is tedious. It's better on the iPad, but I can't try 10 or 20 Apps for just one feature.
As for RedLaser: I think I've avoided it because of the company name "eBay Inc."
I've searched for some time until I found a QR code scanner for iOS that does show me the URL first. There aren't many of them, I'll tell you.:-(
The 6th was the right one, after I asked on Twitter, Reddit, a mobile phone newsgroup, and a Mac newsgroup.
Qrafter is the name.
Because people still insist in using their old and silly date format everywhere. dd.mm.yy, dd/mm/yy, mm/dd/yy.
There's an international format called ISO 8601, which is accepted in almost every country around the world. yyyy-mm-dd with 4 digits for the year.
If such a date format would be common, nobody would even think about using only 2 digits (or less) to save a date. And no, 2010 wouldn't be interpreted as 2016. It would be wrong from the very beginning if somebody wants to interpret a BCD number as a hex number.
You are oversimplifying the goals. There's more to it. Or you just repeat what the MSM is reporting about the Pirate Party. But the MSM is in fear right now because they have the most to lose from a success of the Pirate Parties.

You couldn't view a web page with a gopher client. Times change. If you can't view a current page and all current browsers are capable of it, then you have to install the required software. The software is free and available for all platforms. And can be installed in parallel to old browsers like IE8, if you are on Windows.
This has nothing to do with the "Best viewed in XYZ" we saw the last century. It's not a fight between to companies. We have open standards and all organizations support them, except one.
People don't care. Really.
There was a worm a few years ago that sent office documents to random e-mail addresses. I received an Excel price list from a bike shop. A co-worker some Word documents from a doctor.
People don't care. They continue to use this kind of software and putting documents on Google's site isn't less secure than what they are doing right now.
Funny thing is: I don't like PHP. Many other programmers don't like PHP as well.
But there's no CMS out there that comes near to some of the PHP CMS like MODx or Drupal. WTF?
Is everybody else writing yet another hand-made CMS on his own, over and over again?
What stranglehold? Doubleclick gets filtered for years now. There's not a single PC magazine without at least one article to explain how to get rid of Doubleclick ads and other privacy related problems.
I'm checking for updates the last weeks but there still is no fix for the latest JavaScript bugs. What should I do? There are more and more so called Web 2.0 sites. I can't disable JavaScript.

It's the Minecraft runtime.
Scan is the first QR code scanner I installed on my iPad and later on my iPhone. There is nothing to change any options.
I look again: There's just the History
ARGHL! THERE IT IS! The settings are hidden on the history page!? WTF?

Linus is naive and ignoring Microsoft's history.

HTML5 is supported in all browsers but one. And it's OK to install a HTML5-capable browser parallel to the broken one, if you really need it.
I can't even stand the video on http://www.alientrap.org/nexuiz/ :-(

The specification for Office Open XML has 6000 pages. And is missing some important stuff.

On my AS/400 job I wanted to whack RPG with a hammer, too.
This is a really sad day for freenode. He provided such a good service to all of us. :-(
But using something like iTheatre (portable video glasses) could be a bit difficult, am I right?
The factual errors in the "PHP Cookbook" are really depressing.
Is there a Linux/Unix version of Trillian I haven't heard of?

You can even get newspapers on sundays. But not on today's holiday "Allerheiligen".
I'd prefer the date format according to ISO 8601 instead of your own format. :-)
